    I too have mine in a grouping in a tin on my desk! Well, at least my new pics. My older ones are just thrown in a photo box.

    it's organized at first.. then after sometime no more. i find it hard organize it properly ((sigh)) so i just group them together by person. i have them all dated so i won't have trouble including that on the layout.

    I keep mine on my hard drive until I want to scrap one, otherwise I'd just have boxes and boxes of photos and that would intimidate me.

    On my computer I file them in folders for each person by name, then I make subfolders inside those by date or event. Its the easiest way to do it.

    My system is similar to Marci's. Keep them on the hard drive. I have a folder for each year and have lots of sub folders and sub-sub folders. Events or person depending on what the subject is.

    I have mine in folders by year, then I have them tagged by subject and person in Photoshop Elements.

    Oh, so "virtually" my photos are in cds and some still in my hdd...they're stored in folders too, per person with dates.. i think basically that's how they're usually organized "virtually"...i can handle that LOL! but u know, those photos that you thought you'd use and had developed but later on changed ur mine you just used 1 or 2? i have many of those... in envelopes and in a box as well.

    MIne are stored on my hard drive too! I have them sorted into years and by person as well. The ones that I do have printed I have sorted into one of those plastic coupon dividers, each boy has a sorter and then each tab is a different event.
